NFL Network's Kimberly Jones reports the Jets reached out to retired WR Steve Smith Sr. to gauge his interest in playing this season.

What the? This makes little sense, but Smith Sr. confirmed the news. It's unclear when the Jets approached the 38-year-old, but it's hard to see how they believe bringing in Smith makes much sense when they've been cutting every veteran on the team. Smith obviously declined, indicating he's content in retirement. If he was to come back, it wouldn't be to join the worst team in the league. Tue, Jun 6, 2017 08:08:00 PM

Retired WR Steve Smith Sr. signed a multi-year deal with the NFL Network.

Smith will "appear as an analyst on various NFL Network shows." The deal confirms Smith is finished playing football, although the receiver has already said as much multiple times this offseason. Always outspoken as a player, Smith should have a long career on television. Thu, Feb 2, 2017 12:05:00 PM

"I sent in my paperwork to Roger Goodell on January 2," Smith added. Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said Tuesday he was "still hoping" Smith would return in some capacity next season, but it seems clear Smith has antagonized his last defensive back. Thu, Jan 12, 2017 09:46:00 AM

Speaking Tuesday, Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said he was "still hoping" Steve Smith Sr. returns in some capacity next season.

It's unclear how serious Bisciotti was, as he admitted he knew there was no way Sr. would subject himself to training camp. Bisciotti said he was "still hoping" Sr. showed up at the team facility in September. Sr. seems at peace with his delayed decision to hang it up. We're guessing he's played his final down.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh expects Kenneth Dixon (knee) to be ready for OTAs.

Dixon suffered a torn meniscus which required a full repair last summer. The injury cost him the season, but he should be close to full health by this point. Dixon also was suspended for six games last season -- he served it while on injured reserve -- and watched Alex Collins take over as the lead back. Even healthy, Dixon is not a lock for a big role.

It's his second substance abuse suspension in as many years. A converted wide receiver, Waller logged 10 catches for 85 yards and two touchdowns over 238 snaps last year. Waller was also suspended for a drug violation during his time at Georgia Tech. If the 24-year-old plans on continuing his career, he'll eventually have to file for reinstatement.

Ravens fourth-round OG Nico Siragusa has been diagnosed with a torn left ACL, MCL and PCL, and is done for the season.

Devastating. The No. 122 overall pick had been getting some first-team reps at the Ravens' unsettled left guard position. Now he'll be settling in for what will probably be a year-long rehab. Siragusa has impressive college film and measurables, but was old for a rookie. He will be a 24-year-old sophomore with a shredded knee in 2018. Enduring an unfathomable run of injuries, the Ravens have lost seven players for the season since June 1.

Ravens RG Marshal Yanda (ankle) is expected to be ready for training camp.

Yanda suffered a fractured ankle in Week 2. He will likely be healthy before camp, but the Ravens will likely take it slow with their All-Pro guard. Yanda returning will be a big boost, but the Ravens could still use more help on the offensive line.
